The series signs off at London’s Wembley Arena on March 1.
Sorry I possible will bore you with this next year

Keep us updated Polly, hope he does well

Hia

Looks like 99.9% that I am going to Belfast seeing that the docks are only about 1/2 mile from stadium now waiting son to find out where we stay

Got the ferry price down to £240 
Think it was stenaline or Nutts travel well one of them. Will let you know

Hia

Just checking flights and premier inn works out the same 
So our Carl could take the food etc and hey ho I will take the flight

Hia

We are all booked Carl and George on the overnight ferry

And myself and a friend Suzanne are going by plane and staying in a premier inn

We are going to do the tour bus  during the day and the Arenacross in the evening on Saturday (couldn't afford 2nights)

And maybe a little window or whatever or the bus again on Sunday before we come home

We are all excited

Hopefully pictures to follow

Polly did you not have a word with Jo n Wurly about the crossing,   

Hia

Yes phoned Jo and had a chat no discount but put my mind at rest nice to speak to her

Hia

Some daft bugger put a camera on his helmet

Not spoke to them yet but it looked like a practise not a race but if you can stand it watch to the end and see him fall off and no one overtakes him

What a great ride by George you should be well chuffed Polly, George has a great Spatial awareness and a brilliant rider good luck to him in Belfast

a very talented chap polly

Hia

Yes so proud but they shouldn't have stuck a camera on his head
What I don't see doesn't hurt so to speak

Dont think you have a lot to worry about Polly he looks pretty competent to me

Hia

Just had a thought

Yes I do sometimes

When we were at Donnington we could have hires some mobility scooters and had a race round the circuit 

You know like the horse racing but with a twist

We could have had bets as well

   

Hia

sorry about this but i am going to keep you informed when I can

Great news Polly and congratulations to George  

Well done George!!

Hia

Our George's statement/speech from the podium


George Sum-Mutch – SW85cc
"I found that loads better than last week - the track’s really hard so it's easy to get your rhythm and I definitely prefer that. Starts weren't quite as important as they were last week. The bike kicked me a bit over the first but I was just gradually pulling away and did it. It’s Liverpool next week and I hope to do the same again but if not then I'll have done my best.”


Awhhhhhh

No podium photo yet Polly?

Hia

No Ken keep going on the website that's where I picked his podium speech from
But don't worry I WILL post

He did say about it being on sky but I don't have sky

Hia

Hia

He won't be able to use his unicycle oh dear

Hia

Back from the hospital time 11-05pm

I started by taking him at 2-45 for a3-00 appointment

We saw the orthopedic lady who cut off his soft plaster and prodded George's foot to see how far he would jump   

Looked at his x rays and she couldn't devise if there were 1  or 2 breaks . She said she would like him to have a ct scan to give a clearer view so she was admitting him.
So then we went and had another soft plaster thingy put on his lower leg and then off to the kiddys wards.

I came home after tea so my friend Suzanne could feed her family. I quickly fed Izzy and a bar cake and coffee for myself.

Went to Our Carls and took Sue up. We decided to leave Carl at home because after an hour he would start huffing and puffing   


George went and had his scan and we were told the doc wouldnot be seeing him till tomorrow
I arrived back home at 11-05 
Wouldn't mind hospital is only about 15 minutes away if I am driving.

So we are now waiting to find out if it is 1 ,or 2 breaks.
His mum and dad are going up tomorrow morning, so will let you know the outcome.

Oh and before all this I went to a craft session for an hour then took Izzy for a quick walk

Spend half my time doing nothing then the other half cramming 1 and a1/2 times more into it

Good night

Hia

George as broke it in 2 places and now as a Kawasaki green pot on 

His mum and dad went up at 8 this morning and sat with him till lunch time when the doc saw him and gave George the great news he wouldn't need a operation so he could now have something to eat.
Home by 3 after waiting for his leg to be plastered

Not sure if he is going up to Newcastle arena this weekend ,---not to take part but to support and watch
